"Before Hugh Laurie was House, before Stephen Fry was Wilde, even before they were Jeeves & Wooster, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie wrote and stared in their own inimitable sketch comedy series on the BBC. Witty and urbane, Fry and Laurie lampoon an endless array of targets with a delicious turn of phrase and elaborate wordplay. Absurdities abound as Laurie boils Springsteen down to the bare essence, and Fry utters a sentence never heard before in the history of human communication: 'Hold the newsreader's nose squarely, waiter, or friendly milk will counterman my trousers.' Talky period dramas get their comeuppance as John and Thomas exhaust the subject of Marjorie's fall from her horse Thunderbolt. Catch the first appearances of such Fry & Laurie favorites as the profanely high-powered executives John and Peter, Gordon and his compulsively contentious friend Stuart, and insipid MI5 agent Tony Murchison and his coffee-obsessed boss Control. Includes 1987 Christmas Special."--Container.
